    Well boys, it's been a fun 2 days of owning a complete set of Takara selects. I would have totally bought Halfshell and Scylla but I really don't want to pay $200 all at once so this is a no for me.

    For a quick translation, left to right, top to bottom:

    Q: How many are you?
    A: 5 United!

    Q: Are there weapons?
    A: Every member comes with sword (I think, could be melee) and gun

    Q: Is Scylla a female?
    A: Yes, new head and body, a new female type! I will go into further details next week

    Q: Is it a set?
    A: Yes, it is a set!

    Very much so.

    Looks like I'm in. Also, glad I got Nautilator, I had zero hopes for Lobclaw making it to this set.

    Hmm, ok I'm in. I didn't care for the weird pale plastic on Ape-face (among other documented issues) because it stood out awkwardly with the other materials and felt a bit like a bait and switch after seeing the starkly shaded render.

    But here it doesn't bother me. For one, there is no render, that's what it's going to look like. Takara's not in the habit of cutting back on the paints they revealed with. For another not only is it the base color, the entire team has the same pallette. So the metallics popping against the soft focus white feel intentional.

    Box sets are a big bite, but I'll take it.

    I like him, even with the milky white plastic. It kinda works for me in this set (and at least it’s white and not the annoying dishwater-grey).

    As for why Nautilator wasn’t included with either this or the original KP set, we know why... he’s shy.

    The best panel in the comic, in my opinion:

    E91523A0-915E-4BBD-B329-55F0F332B0DA.jpeg

    Cyberverse, Prime, Animated and Cloud Shockwave all together.

    Cool, but I like King Poseidon and the color scheme on him better. The united color scheme on this looks better on the combined form than on the individual bots IMO. Cool for the fans of BWII though.
